I don't know.

2. Name the first famous person you can think of whose name starts with Z Zachary Taylor

3. Beer, Wine, Mixed drinks, or none of them? None. Don't drink.

4. Have you ever been fired from a job? No

5. What is your favorite thing about the fall? colder weather, foliage

6. What kind of computer do you use? UGH, don't ask. Right now I wish I was a luddite.

7. Name a recent good book that you have read. "The Authoritarian Moment" by Ben Shapiro (nonfiction)

8. Name an obscure movie that you like. "Testament" with Jane Alexander. It's a 1983 ten hanky movie. Warning: Don't watch it without a bunch of tissues.

Here's a Wikipedia one sentence description:

"The film tells the story of how one small suburban town near the San Francisco Bay Area slowly falls apart after a nuclear war destroys outside civilization."

It's about nuclear fall out and the impact on all of the people in one small town especially one family. Don't ever watch it with company (or on an airplane) where people can see you blubbering away. People die off slowly including children. It is not about nuclear war (you don't see any bombs go off or any attacks), no politics involved, just the impact of radioactive fall out (radiation poisoning) and sick people who eventually die and the impact on the living who remain.

A very young Kevin Costner is in it in addition to Jane Alexander (got an Oscar nomination for it), Rebecca DeMornay and a very young Lukas Haas who steals the movie. William Devane has a very small role. Highly recommend it. It's a good quality movie.
